After the burly middle-aged coachman prepared the carriage, Raymond changed his mind.
Picking a burly guard, Raymond did not go to the castle of Hewensen, but asked a carriage to take him to the business district of Caitun Port.
After arriving at the business district from the castle, Raymond looked at the bustling surroundings and his depressed mood became a little better.
Riding a tall horse and wearing a special leather armor from the City Lord's Mansion, the guard Maigao was muscular. He was only in his early twenties and his face was full of beard, which made his appearance look a bit ferocious.
As the carriage entered the commercial district, the faces of the people shopping were filled with warmth and joy. It seemed that the security of Caitun Port was good.
After entering the business district, the spacious and luxurious carriage could no longer move forward, leaving the driver outside. Raymond walked into the business district with his guard Mai Gao and asked the guard Mai Gao: "Do you know any place that sells books?"
Shop?"
"Reporting to your lord, there is only one book store in the entire Caitun Port, and it is at the end of the commercial street."
The guard Maigao looked like a reckless man. Although he didn't speak much, under his guard, the people around him were kept three feet away from Raymond. He was very dedicated.
Following the guard Mai Gao through the crowd, Raymond soon came to an antique book store under his guidance.
The clerk in gray uniform standing at the door led Raymond into the store. Through a glass that separated the inside and outside of the store, Raymond could see the inside of the store. There were dozens of rows of large bookshelves, and a dazzling array of books.
Placed neatly inside.
There was an ink-like smell lingering in the entire store, but there was also a slight fishy smell.
The guard Maigao stood behind Raymond with his arms folded. After Raymond sat down, he shouted impatiently: "Call your boss over! You little guy will only waste my adults' time!"
Guard Mai Gao shouted angrily, causing an old man to stumble out of the shop. After seeing guard Mai Gao's clothes clearly, a trace of fear appeared on the old man's face.
"Dear Sir, welcome to the store, what kind of books do you need?" A smile quickly appeared on his face, and the old man greeted Raymond enthusiastically: "The store is the largest book dealer on the entire West Coast.
No matter what the book is, you can find it here!”
Raymond, who frowned, pointed to the bookshelf in the back of the store and asked, "What languages are there in the store?"
The old man's expression froze. He didn't expect Raymond to ask such a question. The old man was a little confused: "Language? Most of the books in our store are printed versions in common language. What type of books are you looking for? History? Biography? Or something else?
?”
Seeing that the old man didn't react, Raymond reached out and dipped some water in the water glass, then wrote the strange words on the cover of his book on the table with water.
Pointing to the words, Raymond asked patiently: "Do you have any books printed with such words in your store?"
The old man leaned down and read for a long time before he suddenly realized: "Dear Sir, this kind of writing is in ancient Torres language. We have several books like this in our store!"
He happily summoned the waiter who was standing aside. After the old man's gentle instructions, the little waiter soon brought several thick books to Raymond.
The beautifully printed, thick and heavy books can be used as city bricks, and the words inside are exactly the same as those written by Raymond.
The old man rubbing his palms saw the gold coins that Raymond casually threw on the table, and immediately understood what Raymond meant, and he introduced them quickly.
"Dear Sir, in addition to such ancient Torres books, the shop also collects books in Andes, Sparton, Common Language of the Great Road, Matana, and even two books, which are said to be handwritten manuscripts of ancient wizards.
copy!"
The old man's introduction made Raymond secretly relieved. Raymond, who squinted his eyes, tapped his fingers on the table and said his request: "Select three kinds of books in various languages in your store.
Bring me the thickest one."
The excited old man rushed into the store with his little boy without saying a word, and soon heavy books were delivered to Raymond.
Raymond was a little dumbfounded when he saw the Andean book carried by the last two people and brought to him.
The book, which was more than half a meter high and covered with dust on the cover, surprised the guards standing behind Raymond.
And the two manuscripts carefully kept in the box made Raymond smile even more.
There were books in seven languages in total. Except for the thickest book and the two thin manuscripts carefully kept in the box, Raymond wanted two sets of the other books.
Finally, before leaving the shop, Raymond asked the shopkeeper to do something for him, which was to find the person who recited these words for him and let them go to the castle to apply for a job.
The strange request made the old man in the bookstore scratch his head, but the generous remuneration promised by Raymond immediately left the old man stunned.
For one gold coin a day, you only need to recite the contents of these books to Raymond in the castle where he lives.
Raymond's only requirement is that these employees, who know the written language and can recite, must not speak slurred words.
Of course, if any beautiful young woman can apply for the job, Raymond also promised to give additional rewards.
He handed over the recruitment task to the old man from the bookstore, filled half a carriage with books, and followed Raymond back to the castle.
With the help of the chip, a total of books in nine languages were quickly stored in the chip.
The papers inside these large books that have not been sold for many years have a musty smell, and there are even a few orphan copies. Because they are made of animal skins, the room after recording all the books
There was a faint stench inside, which was very uncomfortable.
Raymond, who was unprepared for this, could only temporarily give up the master bedroom on the top floor of the castle and move to the room next door.
In the next few days, applicants flocked to the castle, making the castle noisy.
There are many people who can recognize and clearly recite Great Road Common and Sparton, but there are very few people who can master other languages.
Therefore, the selection of Dalu Common Language and Sparton Language became a beauty contest. Two young and beautiful girls studying in Caitun Port successfully stood out and became Raymond's employees.
As for the ancient Toris language, which is often used by wizards, only an old scholar can barely meet the requirements.
No one can recognize the remaining languages at all, let alone recite them proficiently.
After recruiting the people he needed, Raymond would lie on his recliner every day and listen to these people reading everything in the book to him in front of him.
History, biographies of celebrities, bards' nonsense stories, and even some erotic notes circulated in the palace...
